Dear Kristian,
Odd as it seems, I think that the problem is with the CRAN build of the
Rcmdr package. When I tried installing the Rcmdr package version 1.7-2 on my
own Mac (OS X Lion, R 2.14.0) from CRAN via install.packages("Rcmdr") I got
the same error as your students, but when I installed from CRAN sources,
install.packages("Rcmdr", type="source"), the package worked just fine.
(There is one .c file in the Rcmdr sources.)
I'm not sure what's going on and thus have copied this response to the R Mac
email list for comments.
Best,
John
